I too listened in and came to the same conclusion as yourself. I laughed when one of the analysts asked the question about "what is Lovisa's target in new store openings?" The response was "that we don't have one". I heard crickets for a short while.
Honestly, they're opening in new global markets. In FY2022, they had a total of 629 operating stores and now they have a total of 801 having opened 210 new stores and closing 31 and relocating 7.

Near my computer, I have the following comments made by Shane Oliver:
* Periodic and often sharp setbacks in shares are normal
* When shares and other investments fall in value, they are cheaper and offer higher long term return prospects
* During periods of uncertainty, when negative news reaches fever pitch, it makes sense to turn down the noise and stick to an appropriate long term investment strategy
